About SkyPilot
The role
What you'll do
- Architect SkyPilot's commercial platform from the ground up: the managed API server (hosted control plane), control-plane / data-plane separation, and the multi-tenant foundation teams run their compute on.
- Scale and operate the control plane: keep the hosted API server reliable and highly available — monitoring, alerting, seamless upgrades, and the observability teams depend on.
- Build enterprise-grade platform services: SSO, RBAC, secrets management, usage accounting, and SOC 2-grade security.
What we're looking for
- You've built SaaS / cloud platforms from zero to one, and you're equally comfortable in the cloud and Kubernetes infrastructure beneath them.
- Deep hands-on experience with major clouds' compute / networking / IAM APIs and Kubernetes internals (the API, controllers/operators, scheduling).
- Hands-on with core platform services: SSO, authentication and RBAC, API gateway, usage metering and billing, CI/CD.
- Fluent in a cloud-native stack — e.g. Go, Kubernetes, gRPC, PostgreSQL, Terraform — and comfortable in Python.
- You care about reliability, security, and simplicity in equal measure.
- Experience taking an open-source project into a commercial product, multi-cloud / hybrid systems, or GPU provisioning across clouds.
What we offer
- Competitive compensation and equity
- Comprehensive medical, dental, vision coverage for you and your dependents
- The chance to work with some of the best minds in cloud, distributed, and AI systems — with significant autonomy and ownership.
- A front-row seat at the latest open-source infra startup from Berkeley (lineage: Databricks, Anyscale).
- Gourmet lunch & dinner for the team to do their best work
